Mug 1791

This 1791 glass mug, created by Johann Joseph Mildner, features a central medallion with an image of Saint Florian. It depicts the saint in a halo and armor, holding a bucket of water and a banner. The rim of the mug is decorated with a silver band, and the bottom has a decorative cut design. This piece exemplifies the art of glass engraving in the late 18th century, with its intricate detail and religious subject matter. The mug is currently in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
